Xena is this week's , thanks to our friends at 102.9 The HOG. This sweet and loving girl is 3 years old, has been spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, and because she recently became one of our Benchwarmers, you get to decide her adoption fee when you take her home! 🤍🤍
Stop by our Milwaukee Campus during adoption hours to visit her.

🚨FOSTER HOMES URGENTLY NEEDED! Cats and kittens are arriving at WHS every day, totaling 1,100 in our care right now, and we are quickly running out of kennel space.
We are looking for volunteers who can offer their hearts and homes to animals in need - especially for kittens and cats. Foster care truly means the world to shelter animals. You don't need previous experience, a lot of space at home, or your own supplies. We are here to support you every step of the way, and these kitties would greatly appreciate a break from the shelter and hanging out with you!

🐾To join our team of WHS foster families, simply watch our online orientation video and fill out the application at www.wihumane.org/foster/apply. We'll get back to you as soon as possible with next steps - and access to the full list of animals in need of foster support. Thank you! ❤️

Meet Cutie Pie, a volunteer and staff favorite, and the from our friends at 102.9 The HOG!

Here's one of the adorable contestants:
"Peaches is our 10-year-old rescue from Bichon and Little Buddies, who’s proof that love changes everything. She didn’t always get the care she deserved, but now she’s celebrated like royalty—glasses, crown, and all. Last year, she helped raise $1,200 for the Wisconsin Humane Society. This year, she’s hoping to do even more—for every pet still waiting for their forever throne. 💕
Because every animal deserves a reason to celebrate. 🎂🐾" Alex C.
